The psychological leap you ask for is rather extreme... the break between calendar years is such a profoundly embedded one complete with ceremonies & rituals that it is difficult to get it through managerial/accounting/director minds that it's an inappropriate time for a deadline.
In my working calendar, I usually plan on nothing being accomplished during the week before & after July 4, Thanksgiving and the entire latter half of December (plus the first week of January). After subtracting a few other misc events here & there, we get a project year really only has about 45 real weeks in it.
